Asleep in the Light by Keith Green



Do you see?
Do you see?
All the people sinking down?
Don't you care?
Don't you care?
Are you gonna let them drown?

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come!?
You close your eyes,
And pretend the job's done

"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord"
You know it's all I ever hear
No one aches!
No one hurts!
No one even sheds one tear!

But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?

Cause He brings people to you door,
And you turn them away
As you smile and say,
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps
Cause Jesus came to your door
You've left him out on the streets

Open up!
Open up!
And give yourself away
You see the need,
You hear the cries,
So how can you delay?

God's calling and you're the one
But like Jonah you run,
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such a sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light!
How can you be so dead,
When you've been so well fed?
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed!

Oh, Jesus rose from the dead!
Come on, get out of your bed!

How can you be so numb,
Not to care if they come?
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done,
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done

Don't close your eyes!
Don't pretend the jobs done!
Come away!
Come away!
Come away with Me, My love!
Come away, from this mess!
Come away with Me, my love.
